Chapter VI

In Mianzhu City, Gao Shun was arranged to be stationed in Luo County, and the three thousand trapping camps were all arranged in Luo County, and at this time, there were only Chen Zhi and Cai Yang in Mianzhu City. There are at least 70,000 of the 140,000 households in Guanghan County under Chen Lin's control, and the rest of the county towns of Guanghan County are all pinched by Jia Long, one west and one east are held against Chengdu. There must be about 300,000 people in 70,000 households, and the population under Chen Lin's command skyrocketed in an instant, from 500,000 to 800,000. On this day, Jia Xu said to Chen Lin: "My lord, now many scholars in Mianzhu are officials, but I recommend one person to the lord, this person is a person from Guanghan, surnamed Zheng Mingdu, the word Gongqian, and now lives under the East Gate of Mianzhu City." ”

Chen Lin was surprised, Jia Xu had never recommended anyone to Chen Lin, who was this Zheng Du, who had to be so important to Jia Xu, so Chen Lin asked: "Oh, I don't know why this person is so important to Wenhe?" ”

Jia Xu: "Lord, this person was originally a strategist under Liu Zhoumu, but because of his strange personality, he was not liked by the state pastor, and when the state pastor left, this person stayed." The reason why he is so solemn is that this person once thought that the state pastor proposed to slowly withdraw the troops from Mianzhu, take away all the people in Mianzhu and other counties, burn all the fertile land, and tear down all the houses, but it was not used by the state pastor, so he thought that this person was not simple, and hoped that the lord would personally invite him. ”

Chen Lin was shocked, what a trick to clear the wilderness, if this is the case, wouldn't thousands of Hanzhong soldiers and horses in Shu have to run out of food, and there will always be a day when they can't stand it. Chen Lin secretly said that it was fortunate that Liu Yan did not do this, and he felt that this Zheng Du was really vicious, but it was a very effective strategy. So I also wanted to meet this Zheng Du in my heart, so I said: "Okay, Wenhe, then I will go to visit this person." After that, he asked Huang Yan to prepare a gift and take Zhou Cang, and the group went to the east of the city under the leadership of Jia Xu.

Zheng Du knew when he decided not to follow Liu Yan that sooner or later he would have to face Chen Lin or Jia Long, but Zheng Du was still a little disappointed that Jia Long failed to grab Mianzhu, and even Luo County didn't grab it, thinking that Jia Long was still an authentic Shuzhong person, and he couldn't even take such an important place. After Chen Lin entered the city, he did not commit any crimes with Minqiu, and also wantonly chose the local scholars, but Zheng Du saw a ray of light, they were already very disappointed in Liu Yan, and eagerly hoped that there would be a person in power and the Shu sergeant clan could coexist and tolerate each other.

Chen Lin was in front of Zheng Du's mansion, and he saw such mansions everywhere, it seems that Zheng Du's family is average, otherwise it would not be such a scale. A family member of the Zheng Mansion rushed back to report, but after half a ring, Zheng Du did not appear, only the family Ding Zhan Keke said to Chen Lin: "General, the master wants you to wait for you to go in." As soon as the family finished speaking, Huang Yan shouted: "Rude." Zhou Cang's fighting spirit rose all over his body, and he frightened the family so much that he cried and shouted for mercy.

Chen Lin drank Huang Yan and the others, turned back and looked at Jia Xu, who is this Zheng Du, he didn't go out to greet him, hehe, Chen Lin was more curious in his heart, and he had the heart to lower his posture, praying for the support of the Shu sergeant clan, so he said without displeasure: "Okay, Wenhe, let's go in and visit this Lord Zheng." Huang Yan hurriedly stopped: "The eldest young master, the master does not go out to greet him, but asks the eldest young master to go in, if he has a bad heart, wouldn't it be dangerous, the eldest young master." ”

Chen Lin smiled: "Mianzhu is under the control of our army, measure how dare it." After saying that, the golden knife of the horse opened the shelf and entered, and the guards couldn't help but raise their vigilance and hurriedly followed.

Zheng Du was in the hall, looking from afar, he was surprised to see Chen Lin come in with a normal face, usually in this case, the comers would leave angrily, but I didn't expect Chen Lin to come in like no one. Zheng Du was not rude, and hurriedly clasped his fists and shouted at Chen Lin from afar: "My lord, forgive my sins, the grass people are sick and can't meet them far away." Chen Lin laughed, you just pretend to be this old bone. Seeing that Zheng Du is thin and clear-boned, he is still a master in the world, and his Shu brocade robe is fluttering in the wind, which is really a good temperament. Chen Lin responded: "Haha, Mr. Zheng is polite, it's okay." After saying that, he sat down directly without suspicion, Zheng Du couldn't help admiring Chen Lin's demeanor and chic.

Fatty meat and liquor, melons, fruits and vegetables, Zheng Du's servants sent them one by one, and several handsome men and women danced to help the fun, Chen Lin couldn't think of this Zheng Du and this Yaxing, and said: "Mr. Zheng is so interested, no wonder he doesn't want to go to Chengdu." Zheng Du was stunned for a moment, remembering Liu Yan's distrust of himself, his heart was sad, and then he smiled heartily: "That's right, Lord Chen came thousands of miles from Hanzhong and traveled from east to west, so naturally he can't appreciate this beauty." "It means that I, Zheng Du, am not like you Chen Lin, I am obviously the Taishou of Hanzhong but I am fighting everywhere.

Jia Xu was shocked in his heart, and secretly said that Zheng Du actually didn't like Chen Lin's appearance, why, Jia Xu thought to himself. Chen Lin was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Well, okay, hahaha, Mr. Zheng is reasonable, but this time he actually came to Mr. 's place, and Mr. has good food and drink to stay, so I can't leave in a hurry, I have to stay longer." Chen Lin is not stupid, and he can hear Zheng Du asking why Chen Lin sent troops to Shuzhong. Chen Lin ignored Zheng Du, but instead made a stand with him, this time I Chen Lin won't get any benefits, so I won't leave.

Zheng Du was even more shocked in his heart, he couldn't imagine that this person was so witty, and he overestimated it a little in his heart. "I wonder if Mr. would like to help?" Chen Lin directly invited Zheng Du, and the two were still-for-tat a moment ago, which would change their attitude one hundred and eighty degrees, which made Zheng Du unable to figure it out. said: "I don't know how the adults want to help the adults, and it will not be possible to forcibly occupy the land of Shu?" As soon as Zheng Du's words came out, Huang Yan and Zhou Cang, who were sitting on the case, quickly stood up and were about to go crazy. Chen Lin waved his hand, and the two looked at each other with hatred, Zheng Du just didn't see it, only stared at Chen Lin's face, and saw how Chen Lin reacted.

To be honest, Chen Lin was extremely unhappy in his heart, but he glanced back at Jia Xu, and saw that Jia Xu was also like a person who had nothing to do, so he turned his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, I don't know how Li Hengshu died, I don't know how Ren Taishou died, I don't know how Jia Qiande will die in the future, and how Zhou Shubu in Jiangzhou will die?" "Li Hengshu is Li Quan, who has been killed by Liu Yan as a chicken. Zheng Du was stunned for a moment, remembering that there are so many soldiers and horses fighting in Shu now, all of them are the people of Shu, Zheng Du was heartbroken, and looked up at Chen Lin. Chen Lin then said: "Mr. Zheng is to help the people of Shuzhong, not to help Chen. ”

"The lord is above, and he is bowed down." Zheng Du was convinced, and his heart was broken, not only because of Chen Lin's charm, but also because of the people in Shu that Chen Lin said. Zheng Du thought to himself that if he took refuge in Chen Lin's side, he might be able to give Chen Lin more advice in the future and make less sin in Shu. This point in Shu was a little late for the scholars in Shu to understand, if Liu Yan could have thought like this as early as when he entered Shu, and cooperated so much, it would not have been * to Liu Yan to kill on a large scale, and naturally there would not be such turmoil as today.

Jia Xu didn't say anything from beginning to end, because Jia Xu knew that Chen Lin was now capable of handling many things, and at the same time, Jia Xu faintly felt that Chen Lin's overlord spirit could not allow anyone to overshadow his light, so Jia Xu would only speak out when necessary, and give Chen Lin more opportunities to perform at other times. Jia Xu is well aware of the dangers of the master, and Jia Xu will not put himself in danger like this. At this time, seeing that Zheng Du changed his attitude and defeated Chen Lin, Jia Xu took the lead in patting the ass: "The lord is a god, congratulations to the lord and the lord has added merit." ”

Chen Lin's heart tightened, are the monarchs and ministers separated, Jia Xu's recent performance Chen Lin can see it clearly, Jia Xu is no longer as casual about himself as before, for many years, Jia Xu has been by Chen Lin's side to give advice to Chen Lin, stabilize Hanzhong, ask for Dong, and take credit one after another. It can be said that Jia Xu has created Chen Lin's growth, so Jia Xu's actions really made Chen Lin uncomfortable, but Chen Lin didn't say anything, as a monarch, it should be like this.

Zheng Du's refuge did not attract too many people's attention, after all, Zheng Du is just an ordinary scholar family, except for Mianzhu, who knows who Zheng Du is, no. Chen Lin was overjoyed by Zheng Du, and hurriedly asked Yu Zheng Du, and also had the heart to test Zheng Du: "Gongqian, according to Gongqian, what should our army do now, it is reported that Liu Zhoumu has sent 5,000 troops to the east out of Chengdu, so it seems that Zhang Gongqi is really rebellious." ”

Zheng Du: "My lord, at this time, our army should stick to it, consolidate several counties in Mianzhu, and stabilize people's hearts is the best policy." Chen Lin sighed: "Gongqian is not afraid that all the departments in Shuzhong will be swallowed up by the state pastor one by one, after all, the state pastor now has an army of 30,000 people, and there are 5,000 Qiang soldiers as a company, coming and going like the wind." ”

Zheng Du: "My lord, it is true that there are 5,000 Qingqiang under the command of the state pastor, but these Qingqiang are not the state pastor's cronies, but they are tempted by the state pastor Eli, and they are not very obedient to orders, and the Qiang people also want to preserve their strength, so they will not attack the lord." In addition, although there are 30,000 troops in the state pastor, but Jiangyang, Deyang, and Jiangzhou in the south of central Shu have counter-soldiers who do not obey the state pastor, and the state pastor wants to accept them one by one, but it is not easy. ”

Chen Lin thought about it, the 300,000 people in Mianzhu and other places would take at least several years if they were completely subdued, but it would not be difficult for them not to make trouble in the short term, and it would not be difficult not to oppose Chen Lin, it seems that what Zheng Du said is really important. Thinking of Qingqiang, Chen Ze is now practicing two thousand two hundred wolf rides in Hanzhong, but Chen Lin does not plan to add troops from Hanzhong, so these five thousand cavalry, Chen Lin has to think about it, what to do if he encounters it in the future. Chen Lin took Zheng Du's suggestion, strictly guarded Los Angeles, subdued the hearts of the people in Mianzhu, and trained the army, which had the meaning of watching from the wall.

Compared with Chen Lin's tranquility, Zhang Luke in Deyang, Brazil is not so relaxed now, and Zhang Ren's 5,000 army is here.
